3.3 Additional features of the program
The program features are not limited to ones, listed above. An additional
features can be found in menu bar. Among them there are:
3.3.1 Rapid image import
For speeding up the process of image assigning there is a tool, that can take
all image files in specified folder and to add them to the game list by name,
simultaneously assigning the pictures. To use this great feature, one has to prepare
a folder with only graphic files (meeting sect. 3.2.1 rules), which filenames will
correspond to filenames of desired games (planned to add) and to select
corresponding menu item (File \ Image import):
Fig. 8. Image import.
After these actions, the process of import will be started (with naming games
according to image filenames):
Fig. 9. Processing import.
This feature dramatically speed up the process of creating MDB.DAT for
oneself. Duration of import process depends on number of files and its colors
amount.
3.3.2 Rapid file list import
For simplification of process of creation of game list, one can use a file list
import tool (by choosing a folder with user’s ROM-files). With this tool it’s not
necessary to spent a lot of time, creating and renaming a record for every game.
Important: filenames of the ROM-files must follow the rules, listed in sect. 3.2.1.
In case of breaking them, such records wouldn’t have assigned pictures at all (with
no harm for the handheld, though).
